M248 Alterations to shop in Mains Street

In August 1904 Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh carried out very minor, unspecified alterations to this unnamed shop in Mains Street. Between November that year and the following July they also carried out work at 229–233 Sauchiehall Street on the corner of Mains Street for Henry & Carruthers, ladies' tailors. The plans for Henry & Carruthers approved by
the Glasgow Dean of Guild Court also show alterations to a shop next
door in Mains Street, and it is possible that this was the
unnamed shop which had been altered in August 1904. The
entire block of buildings on Sauchiehall Street and Mains
Street, which includes the Willow
Tea Rooms, was owned by the
Henderson Trustees.

Authorship: The job-book entry is written
entirely in Mackintosh's hand, and the work may be connected with alterations
carried out slightly later at 229–233 Sauchiehall Street, for which one
of the drawings is signed by Mackintosh.
